2025 me is busy. In 2026, she will be even busier, booked and scheduled - which is why I’m absolutely not entertaining any flaky surprises on black office chairs.

When my coworker discreetly pointed out the tiny white flakes (which I often brush off, literally) that had fallen all over my seat again, I decided: okay, we’re done ignoring this. At the end of the workday, I closed my laptop and booked a hair and scalp appointment, instead of convincing myself that switching shampoos again would magically solve the problem. 

Here’s how this small change improved my confidence and saved me from a lot of unnecessary anxiety!

A needful reset for my troubled scalp

A few days later, I found myself walking into TK TrichoKare.

If you’re a young professional, you’ll get this: sometimes self-care isn’t scented candles and lengthy bubble baths. It can be scheduling a professional treatment and targeting the root of the problem, instead of prolonging it.

First stop: the scalp scan.

Seeing my scalp on a big screen was eye-opening

The consultant started me off with a detailed consultation where I got to see a scan of my scalp, magnified at 200x so that the images are extra clear.

Watching my scalp appear on the screen was a humbling experience. Dry patches. Build-up. Areas that were clearly stressed out (relatable).

But there was no need for me to start spiraling. The consultant  gave me very clear explanations of why my dandruff kept coming back, even though I swear that I wash my hair regularly! Turns out, my scalp needed proper cleansing and balancing of sebum on my scalp, not more scrubbing or relying on shampoos for dandruff.

Here’s where the consultant also took time to customise my treatment so that it best fit my hair and scalp concerns. Sweet!

The life-changing scalp treatment I never knew I needed

Once we started the Dandruff Defense Treatment, I was amazed at the ease and comfort of the experience. There was absolutely no pain or any invasive moments. The skilled hair and scalp specialists breezed through each step and never made me feel self-conscious about the speckled state of my hair and scalp. 

Right now, you’re probably wondering how much this treatment will set you back. Well, you’ll be glad to know that TrichoKare’s Dandruff Defense Treatment is only $48 nett! with a FREE Hair Care Kit included! Book your session here.

First came the customised European herbal scalp masque, which was designed to gently eliminate excess oil and unclog pores while nourishing the scalp. This step was paired with an 8-step head massage, which felt incredibly relaxing and also helped the nutrients from the masque get absorbed more effectively.

The herbal masque blend included:

  • Tea Tree, to soothe itchiness and reduce excess oil
  • Magnolia, to protect the scalp from irritation while enhancing hair shine

After the masque, my hair was washed with TrichoKare’s Nourishing Hair Bath, leaving my scalp feeling deeply cleansed but not stripped or dry.

Once my scalp was clean and prepped, a customised treatment essence was applied using a NanoMist spray, allowing the ingredients to be evenly absorbed into the scalp. This step focused on strengthening hair growth while calming sensitivity, using key ingredients like:

  • Saw Palmetto, to support thicker, healthier-looking hair
  • Calendula, to soothe irritation and inflammation
  • Nettle, to strengthen hair while helping it retain moisture

The treatment continued with Photodynamic Therapy: a laser light therapy technology that helps maintain the scalp’s pH balance, detoxifies the scalp, and promotes overall hair and scalp health. This step was completely painless and honestly quite calming, I mostly just sat back and relaxed.

After enjoying a few gentle, calming and rejuvenating moments in the chair, I found myself totally relaxed and much less anxious over my hair and scalp issue. Who knew that getting my dandruff flakes treated could feel so soothing?

At one point, they handed me a cup of hot tea, and I remember thinking, “This is definitely worthwhile to share with my family and besties.” and decided to share some snaps of my session on social media.

By the end of the session, I was no longer feeling that shy about my dandruff concerns, now that I’ve taken the first step to solve the issue and experienced the thorough yet comfortable way it can be treated!

A post-treatment fit check

After everything was done, I caught my reflection in the mirror and immediately did a mini fit check.

Same outfit. Same hair. But my scalp felt lighter, cleaner, and…much more calm. There was no itchiness or that tight and irritated feeling I had gotten used to after scratching my scalp for some time. What was left was a fresh, cleansed and moisturised sensation you usually only get after a really good facial - except this time, it was on my scalp.

The session ended with a post-treatment scalp scan, where I got to see a direct before-and-after comparison. The difference was obvious. The build-up of dirt and sebum was all gone. In its place was a clearly healthier-looking scalp, with clean hair follicles and no greasy sheen all over.

I also received a free Haircare Kit which includes a shampoo and conditioner set worth $45!

I almost couldn’t believe that this only took one session to achieve… guess I’m finally understanding why people go for regular treatments - it was a wonderful feeling seeing such significant improvements! 

Why this treatment became a significant part of my regular beauty and wellness routine

In case you can’t tell yet, this hair and scalp treatment really helped me find a new sense of confidence and calm. I am overjoyed at the comfort of not having to watch my back, my outfit or even the chair for style-crushing dandruff flakes anymore

There’s also something so satisfying about getting rid of a huge insecurity, especially when I’d been lowkey ignoring it for so long.

Since then, I’ve stopped overthinking black outfits. I don’t subconsciously scratch my scalp during meetings. And I don’t get that anxious feeling every time I stand up from a dark chair!

Sometimes, the best lifestyle upgrade isn’t buying something new, it’s taking a bit of time to fix the issue that’s been quietly bothering you. 

And for me? That started with finally doing something about my dandruff, and turning an awkward moment into a very satisfying reset.

Here’s some good news too: there’s a limited-time promotion where you can enjoy this treatment at just $48 (U.P. $556).
